Interestingly, I got #982457 filed against debhelper asking for
dh_fixperms being called "as late as possible".  I guess that "kind of"
conflicts with your wish (depending on the exact definition of "as late
as possible").

Sadly, I do not have a clear view what the "perfect" order would be for
these helpers at the moment.  Anyway, I have added your remark to
#982457 with this email, so I remember to consider dh_compress in the
relative order of dh_fixperms.

Thanks,
